AKG K240 STUDIO Professional Over-Ear Headphones

The AKG K240 Studio Headphones boast a classic design that has become a standard in monitoring. This newer, lower impedance, 55-ohm version provides remarkably higher volume levels when used with portable studios, keyboards, drum machines, and other project studio gear, making it a professional level of performance for the home studio.

The features of the AKG K240 Studio include an integrated semi-open air design with a highly accurate dynamic transducer for naturally open sound quality, and circumaural (around-the-ear) pads for hours of wearing comfort. The frequency range spans from 15 Hz to 25,000 Hz, and it offers both stereo (1/8-inch minijack and 1/4-inch) connections.

The AKG K240 Studio's low, 55-ohm impedance, plug-in cable, self-adjusting headband for optimum fit, single cable for ease of use, and semi-open, circumaural design make it AKG's most popular professional headphone. This classic design has become a standard in monitoring, and the new Varimotion XXL capsule provides studio sound quality for both home and portable use.

The integrated semi-open air design incorporates a highly accurate dynamic transducer, and an acoustically tuned venting structure behind the element produces a naturally open sound quality. The circumaural (around-the-ear) pads are designed for hours of wearing comfort, while the steel-cable, self-adjusting headband construction and single-sided professional quality audio interconnect ensure extended reliability in demanding professional studio applications.

Proven, popular, and excellent, the new, improved AKG K240 Studio is even better. Made in China, the item includes the OFC screw-type cable.

The AKG K 240 Studio is an update of the "classic" AKG K 240 Monitor. The new K 240 Studio delivers even wider dynamic range and higher sensitivity than its well-known and widely-used predecessor. The secret to the semi-open K 240 Studio's sound quality is the new XXL transducers in acoustically tuned vented enclosures with circumaural (around the ear) pads.

Founded in Vienna, Austria in 1947, AKG has built a legendary reputation in the professional audio industry for products that perform flawlessly. The reputation of AKG and its celebrated quality are built on more than 55 years of experience, incredible design, meticulous craftsmanship, and a clear understanding of what truly sounds right.

The new XXL transducers use AKG's patented Varimotion diaphragm to ensure extremely accurate response at any listening level. This technology creates a diaphragm that is thinner and more elastic toward the outside edges for more powerful bass response, and thicker and less resonant in the center for pure, accurate mids and clear, detailed highs. The large size of the transducers makes the overall sound more life-like and three-dimensional to capture the emotional and sonic content of your soundtracks.

To ensure your listening comfort, AKG Professional Studio headphones utilize a self-adjusting headband with a flexible steel structure to deliver optimum fit without any fiddling. The structure is flexible, yet strong enough to allow bending for single-ear use and is durable enough to withstand rough handling. A gimbal-type suspension ensures the earcups of all AKG Professional Studio models will conform to the shape and size of your ears without pressing on them for hours of fatigue-free, comfortable listening.

Rugged construction, a non-twisting headband, and powerful sound allow you to use your headphones on a single ear only or wear them in any other way you may prefer. AKG Professional Studio headphones are ideal for DJ and live sound use because they are durable enough to withstand the roughest kind of handling during transport or on stage.

The new AKG Professional Studio headphones utilize a detachable input cable for easy replacement if ever necessary. The cable and headphones use mini XLR connectors for perfect contact and secure mechanical connection. The cable is made of 99.99% oxygen-free copper and has gold-plated plugs on both ends, including the screw-on 1/8" to 1/4" stereo jack adapter for maximum signal transfer.
